Even when Wang Xiaohu was filming "Earth-shattering", he only used five photography teams, but "Police Story" used seven groups as soon as it came up, which can be regarded as a precedent in the industry. 【Reading.com】

Of course, these seven camera crews cannot be compared with the five groups of "Shocking", which are of international cinema level and use the most advanced cameras in the world.

In this scene filmed today, there are a total of four bicycles riding through the shantytown (slum) from the hillside, three criminals, two red and one white, and Jackie Chan and one red car.

The scene is larger, so the number of cameras is also increased, and two of them have to sit in the passenger seat of the car, showing the effect of breaking through the wooden house from the inside of the car.

Another set of high-definition camera racks is halfway up the hill opposite, showing a large panoramic shot of four cars rushing down and a blasting scene.

There is also a group at the bottom of the hill, with an upward view camera combined with a flick camera to capture the moment when the car rushes by.

The other three groups are all in the shantytown, or in the middle, or in the house, or on the roof, respectively recording the scene of citizens dodging vehicles and the scene of explosions at close range, of course, these citizens are extras played by dragon and tiger warriors, and they are all professionally trained in advance.

The driver of the car is also a stuntman trained by the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union in the past few years, they are all apprentices of Wan Hanfei and Jackie Chan, and each of them has excellent skills.

In addition to Jackie Chan having to be in the car to shoot such a scene, other actors such as Yuan Hua, Xiao Erlang and others just shot a shot of getting into the car, and the rest of the work was done by these flying car stuntmen.

Don't look at the movie This scene is less than 2 minutes before and after, but it is very difficult to shoot. Sammo Hung used the walkie-talkie to make sure that all units were ready, and then announced that the machine was turned on.

“acttion！”

As soon as the words fell, there were three cars on the hillside that rushed down in the left, center, and left directions of the shantytown, and the cars on both sides rushed half of them directly out of the trajectory, and it was obvious that the task was not completed according to the predetermined plan, Sammo Hung, who was standing next to the camera under the hillside, frowned when he saw this, and was about to pick up the loudspeaker and shout "cut", but was stopped by Wang Xiaohu.

"Let's talk about it after filming first, Sanmao, you should remember one thing in the future, you can't shout in the middle of filming this kind of fateful scene, otherwise it is easy to be dangerous. Even if you shout, the person concerned can't hear it because of their own factors such as nervousness, concentration, and excitement. ”

"That" Sammo Hung stopped talking, Wang Xiaohu said with a wry smile: "You can re-stitch the lens by editing, and let the car rush down where it went wrong just now." ”

"Stitching" interrupted plots is one of the most common and first used techniques by editors, and Sammo Hung, who has been a director for several years, knows this very well, so he doesn't say anything anymore and focuses on the set.

"Immediately arrange for the ambulance personnel to go up and see the two brothers in the car!" Wang Xiaohu instructed Zhang Yuan beside him.

Wang Xiaohu started as a stunt and stand-in in his previous life, and he didn't see a hit or accident on the set, so he specifically requested that at least three ambulances be parked outside the set, and there must be more than two experienced surgeons in the car.

Just now Wang Xiaohu saw that one of the wrong cars had overturned, in this kind of temporary scene, but also on the potholed hillside, the car is easy to cause rollover, not to mention that in order to increase the difficulty of the action, Jackie Chan also added a high slope to the line he rushed down, so that the car will have the action of vacating.

Zhang Yuan, a surgeon, and three ambulance personnel carried a stretcher up the hillside, at this time the first car had rushed to the middle of the hillside, Wang Jiaxin detonated ** at the predetermined position, and suddenly flames broke out, and smoke rose from the simple wooden house, and the scene was very dangerous.

But now is not the time to extinguish the fire, because Jackie Chan's car also rushed down, breaking through the layers of houses three meters away from the first explosion point, and the red car flew directly after crossing the high slope, and the camera at this position quickly captured this picture, and before he could react, the car driven by Jackie Chan slammed to the ground, but it was not a smooth landing as planned, but a headlong into the house and could not be started again.

Wang Xiaohu and others at the bottom of the hillside also discovered the sudden situation here and hurriedly rushed up.

"Aaron, Aaron, are you okay?"

Because the momentum of rushing down was too strong, Jackie Chan insisted on not braking all the way, and stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed, so the front cover of the car was lifted directly, and the car was seriously deformed because of the violent collision, and the car glass had already broken into pieces and scattered on the ground.

When Wang Xiaohu, Sammo Hung and others rushed over, Jackie Chan had a few bloody cuts on his face and arms, and this thing was lying on the ground and letting the medical staff bandage his wounds, staring at the sky with wide eyes and panting, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It doesn't look like he's going to die." Wang Xiaohu sighed, he didn't want to say anything more at this time, if he didn't help Jackie Chan open this dangerous, fatal, and evil action style, he might not be hurt, but he couldn't stop him from doing it.

A few years ago, Jackie Chan was very enthusiastic about flying cars, especially after "Drunken Fist" became famous, in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, he directly bought a sports car, and often carried out flying cars with insiders in the middle of the night, which was far more exciting and dangerous than now.

And when Wang Xiaohu saw the action design plan of "Police Story" submitted by Jackie Chan, he also realized the adventurous spirit in Jackie Chan's bones, from this point of view, Jackie Chan's style has been brewing for a long time, even if Wang Xiaohu does not remind him, sooner or later he will be drummed out by Jackie Chan.

That's fate! Wang Xiaohu squatted down with emotion, knocked on Jackie Chan's head and said, "Is it serious?" ”

"A little bit of dizziness, nausea, nothing else." Jackie Chan shook his head vigorously, squeezed out a wry smile at Wang Xiaohu and said, "It's okay, I can shoot again!" ”

"Hey! Take it easy. Although it is important to make money, it must also be spent on life. ”

After Wang Xiaohu said this, he shook his head and left the set, here, he didn't want to stay anymore, leaving Wang Xiaohu too many memories of his previous life, especially when he heard what Jackie Chan said, he seemed to see the epitome of himself in his previous life, even if Jackie Chan was the ancestor of stunts in his last memory, but he was the ancestor of stunts in this life

After leaving the set, Wang Xiaohu was not in a very good mood, mainly because he was very heartbroken and helpless to see the "Jackie Chans" playing with their lives.

This is a more complex psychological factor, in fact, Wang Xiaohu knows very well in his heart that from the late 70s to the mid-80s, this kind of almost "self-harming" movies flooded the screen, because the audience likes it, the audience loves to watch, and they go to the theater to seek excitement.

Fame means paying too much!

Wang Xiaohu did not go home directly, but drove directly to the company, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and others were working hard outside, he was the boss, and he would not be idle as a brother, he first took a few pieces of paper in the office and wrote it, and then took those pieces of paper to the recording studio to find Xiahou Mo.

After the Spring Festival, the recording studio of Concord Company was busy, because the recording work of the four satellite companies had to be concentrated here for processing, although all of them used the method of live recording, but the Chinese spoken by individual actors was not standard, and many needed to be re-recorded. This also indirectly increases the pressure on the studio.

"Oh, Brother Tiger, how come you have time to visit a small department like ours?" After Xia Houmo saw the boss arrive in person, his face was full of surprise for the first time.

"Come around and give you a new job." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

"New quests?" Xiahou Mo said aggrievedly: "We are all too busy here, Brother Hu, you still give the task, it seems that this week's vacation is going to be in vain." ”

"Huh." Wang Xiaohu knew that this girl was raising overtime pay in disguise, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Go back and report the number of overtime workers to your Sister Zhi, and I will sign it." ”

"Hehe, Brother Tiger is considerate of us grassroots personnel, and it is easiest to do things for Brother Tiger." Xiahou Mo's small abacus succeeded, and he slapped Wang Xiaohu's ass at the moment.

This is not what Xia Houmo said himself, the people in the entire recording studio know that all the tasks sent by Wang Xiaohu are basically 80% semi-finished products, the lyrics and composition are ready, what they have to do is to modify and improve the work in the later stage, which is quite easy, which is like the tasks sent by other companies, there is nothing, they are completely busy on their own, and sometimes they are not satisfied with the background music they make, let them say the requirements, they still don't say it.

For this matter, Xiahou Mo quarreled with Xu Guanwen, Mai Jia and others, and made trouble with Wang Xiaohu several times, the little girl's fierce appearance is very cute in Wang Xiaohu's eyes, but in the eyes of Xu Guanwen, Mai Jia and others, it is a dominatrix, no, it's my aunt!

There was once such a rumor among the four major satellite companies, in the Concord Company, you can't offend Xiahoumo's aunt if you offend anyone, because once you offend your aunt, she may not be able to make any "terrifying" background music for you, if you do it against her, then you will be miserable, the post-recording cannot be completed, the release time will be delayed, and the box office will lose a lot

"Brother Tiger, what is the mission this time?" Xiahou Mo is still relatively well-behaved in front of Wang Xiaohu, except for occasional jokes, once she enters the working state, this girl will be very serious.

"Oh, the theme song of "Police Story", "Tough Guy" sung by Jackie Chan, Cantonese." Wang Xiaohu concisely explained the task, and then handed over a few pieces of paper: "Do it carefully, don't be in a hurry, they don't rush the schedule." ”

Xiahou Mo likes to hear the words "not in a hurry", but she still subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”

"I don't know when the shooting will be finished."

Facts have proved that Wang Xiaohu's sentence is too correct! "Police Story" is indeed carried out in a stop-and-go process.

On the first day of shooting, Jackie Chan only suffered a slight concussion, plus slight trauma to his face and arm, which did not affect the filming of the film.

The next day, the scene where Chen Jiaju chased the double-decker bus on foot and snatched an umbrella from a female citizen and tried to use the umbrella to climb onto the double-decker bus, which mainly reflects the meaning that Jackie Chan can use any prop around him to maximize the effect, and this is also a more exciting and dangerous scene in "Police Story".

When Jackie Chan was filming this scene, he wasted three special umbrellas before and after, and the filming time took a month! Why? Because this scene is more difficult to shoot than the first action scene, Jackie Chan didn't count the back abrasions during the shooting, and the 6th-8th sections of the spine were almost displaced, and the filming progress had to be stopped.

"Jackie Chan was seriously injured in the filming of "Police Story" and is currently being resuscitated at Elizabeth Hospital."

"For the sake of sensory stimulation, Jackie Chan almost died, does Concord still treat actors as human beings?"

"Wang Xiaohu betrayed the purpose of establishing the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union, and the filming of "Police Story" was stopped on the second day due to the serious injury of the leading actor."

"For the sake of the box office, Wang Xiaohu is already dying!!"

"It's too cruel, Jackie Chan is his brother, Wang Xiaohu is taking revenge for Jackie Chan's betrayal."

The newspaper was full of negative news, not only the citizens were opposed, but even the colleagues had to shake their heads and sigh, all the spearheads were pointed at Wang Xiaohu, Elizabeth Hospital, Union Company, Wang Xiaohu's home, Jackie Chan and other Qixiaofu doors were crowded with reporters.

"Tiger, although I can understand that you are seriously completing the task I assigned, but now that there is too much controversy caused by the filming of this movie, you must give me a reasonable explanation." The Governor, Sir MacLehose, spoke in a very serious tone in his phone call to Wong.

"What the hell are you doing, boy? Why do you have to use this method to make a movie? Don't you have enough right now? "After reading the report, Run Run Shaw personally went to Wang Xiaohu's home to question him." I remember that you used to be very nice to your brothers, they were playing hard! ”

"Lao Dou, don't worry, as long as those guys still have a breath, they will continue to shoot, and I will support them to the end, as for what controversy will be caused in the process, this is also a matter of time and time, inevitable!"

Wang Xiaohu said very calmly that it is inevitable that media reports will cause controversy and even bombard themselves in an all-round way, because "Police Story" was also tested when it was released, and the audience is still unable to adapt to it, so they must be given a buffer period.

"Lao Dou, you will get used to seeing more things like this in the future, in fact, this is really nothing."
